Located in Detroit’s Southwest district, the historic Carson Apartments demonstrates the resent accelerated revitalization of a once deteriorating neighborhood. Now known for its thriving commercial success, ethnic diversity and many cultural and community offerings, the Southwest neighborhoods have become a source of great pride for the city. Prior to renovation, the 3 story building was abandoned and in extremely poor condition. The interior was completely stripped and rebuilt into 22 new affordable rental apartments. Restorations looked to maintain the original quality of the building while introducing modern interior elements to accommodate today’s living standards and requirements.
